On the other hand, being unemployed sucks big time - you don't know if you're ever getting employed, because your stupid government is basically forcing companies to expand overseas instead of domestically.

Good luck getting a job, though.

It's extremely easy to find a job as a developer in Paris. The problem is always with the unskilled workforce, in France and elsewhere.

I find all the reactions in this thread about how we should "just remove all those silly laws and the unions and let the good job creators do what they want and everything will be great and everybody will have a job" a bit naïve, to say the least.

The problem is complex and global, the "49 employee company" is just a red herring.
